Firefall

Post by Mud Dog »

Is it real or CGI ...... if it's real it's stunning!

Eric Paul Zamora captured this spectacular view of a "firefall" at Horsetail Fall in Yosemite Valley on Feb. 16. The shot was taken at sunset. Three conditions had to be in place for the fire effect to occur: a clear sky, the sun's position in mid- to late February, and enough water in the fall to pick up the sunlight. The "firefall" nickname refers to a bygone tradition of pushing burning embers off the cliffs of Yosemite Valley.

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
